Has anyone considered adoption or adopted while ttc?

Question

Answer

I did until my husband and I looked at the pricing

Answer

Yes. We came in to a random adoption opportunity by a lady that I know. Her step daughter was pregnant. After lots of talking with each other, talking to her, and praying we eventually figured out that we wanted to adopt the baby boy. We met her in person, and a couple weeks later she told us she was choosing us. We immediately called a lawyer, spoke with a social worker, got paper work ready, etc. I kept in every day contact with the birth mother. I kept her in the loop of every single process from buying baby stuff, the crib, meeting with the lawyer, getting the nursery done, having a home study done with the social worker ($1000)...People had custom made things with his name sent to us...we had things set up at the hospital so we would have special access and even a room, everything. All we had to do after two months was wait for her phone call. I dropped everything one day and drove 2 1/2 hours to her when she was worried about some bad pains she was having. She had me feel her belly. She told me she was going to send me copies of her sonograms. She kept calling him Baby Adam (Adam was the name we picked). I already had the car seat installed in my car, so I showed her, and she was happy. Or she said she was. Just a few short days after she MESSAGED me and told me that she basically never really wanted to go through with the adoption and she couldn’t go through with it. She had him not long after that. We were absolutely devastated, and we still are. The nursery door still hasn’t been open since that day. That led us to decide to foster to adopt through the state. We will start that process once soccer season is over (he’s a coach).

Answer

Considered it but not until we’re much older I’m 24 and have been ttc for a little over a year with one miscarriage a couple months ago and hopefully a BFP any day now! Good luck to you!

Answer

That's what turned us away from it. We have a friend that wants us to adopt her unborn baby but even independent adoption is still pricey
